How to unlock the Flawless Fretwork achievement in Rock Band 2 - Definitive Guide

Obviously there's a lot of different opinions as to what the easiest song on Guitar is, and those who have access to the internet and downloadable content will have an easier time than others.

As far as songs that are on the disc, We Got The Beat, Pretend We're Dead, Hungry Like the Wolf and Today are some of the easiest songs to get 100% notes hit on.

If any songs are brought over from the Rock Band 1 disc in the disc export feature, Maps, Here It Goes Again and Mississippi Queen are a few of the easiest.

As for DLC, some options are absolutely slam dunks. The most notable is the free song Charlene (I'm Right Behind You), which clocks in at just over a minute long, and only has 146 notes. Several songs from The Pixies' album Doolittle are fairly easy 100%s as well, notable Tame and Monkey Gone to Heaven.

Good choices. I earned this on Pretend We're Dead during the Warmup Marathon 2 challenge without even focusing on it. It just happened.

Also DLC: Something in the Way by Nirvana is really easy.

I'm a little late to the party. "Satisfy my Soul" by Bob Marley is what I used. There are only one or two tricky parts in it that you can get through after practicing them a few times.

As someone who is admittedly not so great at expert guitar, I found this very easy to do with "Roxanne" by The Police. Although "Charlene" is a quick and pretty easy song (and also a very funny one) there were one or two spots that kept messing me up and I had to repeat it several times. With "Roxanne," got it on the first try.

If you want to "Buy" your achievement I highly recommend you get something in the way by Nirvana and practice it a few times and it will be an easy achievement, it was for me and I suck.

"They Say" by Scars on Broadway was suggest in the RB1 list, and I really agree. I ran through the first time as practice, and almost 100%ed it right then. (I'm generally a vocalist or bassist, don't like to touch Expert guitar.)

I definitely tried this song and on the first try, I gold starred it and go the achievement. I usually have a hard time on Hard guitar and I got this first try, so thumbs up!

Good solution! If you want to make it even easier (I am awful on expert guitar), a solution above recommended playing a local tug of war. I did that with this song and the achievement popped afterwards.

You're right! I forgot about that... that's how I got the AC/DC achievement.

Pork and Beans by Weezer. If you get consistent fingering for the opening down, the rest is an easy 8 count plodding rhythm.

If you have imported the songs from Rock Band (1) into RB2 - just go for "I think i'm paranoid" by Garbage. This Song is very easy to play - with only one tricky part. You should get a 100% without a problem.

I would like to expand on a comment left by kmdeftones as what he told me helped loads and it really does deserve its own official solution.

Play local Tug of War, either with a friend or just plug the second controller in and leave it alone. Then play whichever song you are good at. I kept failing We Got The Beat by 1 or 2 notes so I went back to Charlene, mainly because of its length (Thank You Boys is just too difficult), played in on Local Tug of War and you will play less notes than before as the game seems to share them between both players.

I was Player 1 and the game gave the second profile (I signed in just to be sure) the hardest parts of the song. There were a few tough bits but either this was a total fluke, or profile 2 is always gonna get the harder parts.

Alternate way to get this unlocked but requires £1.59.

This is a video on the easiest way to unlock the Flawless Fretwork achievement in Rock Band 2. I used this same song for Rock Band 1 also.

To do this you need to purchase the Album Legend or the song Satisfy my Soul. The song on its own is £1.59.

You can do this with 1 guitar normally in quick play or to make it even easier play in Tug of War mode to reduce the chances to miss notes. You'll need a second guitar to do this though.

For anyone wanting a visual, I made a video doing it in Tug of War.

Ok for this trophy you need to get 100% on a song as a guitarist on expert. My suggestion for this trophy is to do the song Charlene (I'm right behind you). This song is easy and very short. This song is not on the main game you will need to download it from the Music Store but the best part is its free. Here's a video of the song.
Thanks Sora2500 for the video.
Remember, practice makes perfect.

If you've gotten this achievement on Rock Band 1, and have exported your songs or DLC, just do it on that one. If not, try it on Today by Smashing Pumpkins, that one is pretty easy, just watch out for the chords to hammer ons. Or do it on Nine in the Afternoon by Panic! at the Disco. A little more advanced, but should be manageable. It's pretty short and has a simple guitar part. DLC-wise, Charlene is probably the easiest. It's free, so no worries.
Also, another note, you can over strum for the 100% achievements, just hit all the notes. All the 100% achievements can be done in local tug of war, which is easier because you get less notes then you usually would.

You need to hit 100% of the notes, the easiest way to do this is on the composition “Charlene”, it can be downloaded for free from the store, it is very easy to play and very short, so you can easily replay it until it’s automatic. If for some reason you cannot download it, then pay attention to the song “Today” by Smashing Pumpkins, one is also quite simple and you should not have any problems. Also note that for this trophy you can do “over strum”, the main thing is to hit all the notes. Moreover, you can get this trophy in the “Tug Of War” mode, which is much easier since it will have fewer notes than all the others.
